Reports from all parts of the State art published this morning, relative to the crops, which show hat.nrnnrmr.il a;nount of damage has been ftme by the severity of the winter, and that only medium harvest will be returned. In many Counties the enps were backward, and are in un favorable condition. In this (Marlon) County the acreage Is greater than last year. In the western part of the County, the yield will be 20 percent below last year, but in the eastern portion the wheat Is in excellent condition. I-ast year there were SSWVW acres mmn. which yielded 571.368 bushels of wheat, but notwithstanding the in crease acreage this year, the yield will certainly be less than the eure above.

The fruit prospect at present is not very flattering, especially the p;ach crop, but it is almost impossible to arrive at a definite conclusion about fruit or grtdn at this date on account of late sow lug last fall, and a late and unpleasant spring.

Some farmers have hope that the s6ed is still 'in the earth, ar.d with favorable weattver a tolerahle fair crop may be harvested. The great majority of farmers, however, aro at present very despondent, and do not look for more than half the yield of a year ago. even under roost favorable circumstances.

A delegation of Vir ginia Republicans, headed by Congressman Jorgensen, called upon the President to-day and begged him not to recognize Mahone, or to en courage any Republican coaNUon with him Representative Jorgensen 'was the principal speaker, aud he assured the President that Vir ginia Republicans will not favor any coalition with Mahone. lie said the Republicans want a straight-out Republican ticket, and any attempt to force an alliance with Mahone will be fatal to the party. Jorcenscn stated that a straight Re publican Convention will be held in ninety days to nominate a straight Republican ticket for State officers In Virgltiia; that it was intended to nominate General VYickham for Governor, but business will prevent him from running, and the preent purpose is to nominate Colonel Moeby, now Consul at Hong Kong. Instead of appointing more Keadjusters, the delegation urged the President to remove those now holdiim office. The President said he would thoroughly consider all of the questions, and act for the best good of the Republican party. Jorgensen thinks they have stopped any chance of an affiliation with Mahone. Iron and Steel. Washington, April 14. A bulletin on iron and steel and industries shows that the whole num ber of establishments in 18S0 was 1,005: in 1H70 there were KW.

Washingtow, April 14. The Senate having adioumed until Monday tne contemplated k publican caucu will not meet before next week. orobabir on Monday, as ixmaung ana several other Republican Senators go to-night to New York. It is understood that Senator Conklingls not adverse to an executive session for the confirma tion of such nominations as are not objected to. It has been given out and repeated over and over again " that he keeps the dead-lock fastened because he is afraid tbe Robertson case might come up Lf aa executive session werp held. This ofp

repeated statement has had tbe effect of putting

on his shoulders a greater share ot the resiomibility for the dsad-lork than on any other Senator. It is claimed for him that he has no fear of an executive session. because the certainty of a majority and probably all of the Commerce Committee sustain him in his opposition to Robertson. At least the Democratic members oi that Committee are with him in agreeing to hold back Robertson's nomination until the next session the only way by which the nomination can be taken from the Committee before the latter is ready. The report Is by a majority vote of the Senate.and no matter how the Republit-an Senators may feel tney would not carry discord 111 their ranks at this time, when harmony is so necessary, by voting to take up Robertson'! nomination in ppite of the Commerce Committee. Hence the probable action of the caucus when it is held will be to agree upon the list of unob jectionable nominations, including the most im portant ones, and to nave one executive session for the confirmation of these. Should the Senate pist through the summer, tiie Democrats consider they have got the advantage of Mahone in opening and conducting the campaign in Virginia, because no Democrat will pair w lin Manone. in lemocratic circles it is held that his vote can not be spared, and. therefore, he can not enter the Virginia campaign in person unless he breaks the Republican mnjority. All evideme goes to show that even if an executive session be provided for, the light will continue, as the Republicans intend to hold their control of business. THE FAST ENDED. Mrs. Deuel's Fast Terminated in Her Death The Antopsy. low a City, Iowa, April 12. At 12:30 to-day Miss Hattie Deuel, whose remarkable feat has already made her famous, died. last night friends and relatives were at her bedside, and momentarily expected her death. Her pulse this morniugwas imperceptible and her respiration thirty-five to the minute. She has not drank any water during the last twenty-four hours, and it seeming to make her sick, and when she drank she complained of nausea. Kven this morning he evinced considerable strength, and was able to communicate to her friends by means of her linger and stick. She even reached out and opened a small drawer in a bureau, which stood near tne oca. sne was asked 11 sne was not huugry and did not want something to eat. but she answered in the negative to both questions. he had lain in a semi -comatose condition all night, but this morning her mental powers were clear and unaffected, and she seemed to fully comprehend all that was going on about her. Her iast moments were very peace! ui. and stir rounded by the friends and relatives who had done so much for her. she sank gradually into everlasting sieen. It had been determined that a post-mortem cx amination should Ik? held upon her death. At 3 o'clock Dr. A. C. Cowperthwaite, Dean of the Homt ojathic Medical f acuity of the state Cm verslty, assisted by Dr. J. J. Caldwell. legHU an examination. There were present also Dr. II Bay worth, brother-in-law of the dead; Rev. E. T. Hiscox. pastor of the Baptist Church; David Prince. James Cochrane, Mrs. A. B. free. Mrs.. M.

The du ram a tor was slightly tinged, the blood thickened by congestion and mottled in spots. The pia muter was a brown straw color, slightly opaque. The drachnoid membrane contained blood. The liver con taincd much serum mingled wich blood Many particles of albuminous r?stter lav between the membranes. At the base of the brain was about an ounce of fluid matter of a strawcolor. The pia mater was congested at the vertex and the substance siigntiy enust-o. ine tissues o the body were pale and bloodless.

There was nothing peculiar about the heart, ihe liver was nomin al, but lioth it and the lungs were very much atrophied. The spleen was a deep, dark bluish brown, ihe gall-bladder contained one ounce and a half of jet-black liquid. The stomach con tained a small quantity of iluid and apeaied normal. The intestines and surrounding tissues were entirely normal. The intestines were wholly empty except a slight accumulation of f.i-ces 111 the rt-ctum. The kidneys were normal the adipose and muscular tissues were almost en tirely goue. There was very little blood, but it was apparently normal. Tbe vocal chords were found to be very thick and club shaped, presum ably by nonusage. and the doctors think it doubt f ul if she could have spoken in an ordinary tone of voice had she even desired to. Only about two weeks ago, however, 6he answered in a distinct whisper. "1 don't know." The brain, heart and stomaih have been removed for a careful exarol nation, which will not be concluded for some time. The body weighed fifty-two pounds. The natural weight was about 100. The doctors say the appearance of the body indicated death by starvation, but they are surprised at the gen e rally natural condition of all the organs, there ling nothing unusual or that would indicate a earn as resulting irom exceptional causes or marked insanity. Payment of Interest on ltonds. Washington. D. C. April 14. A question re garding tne payment of interest on Govern men bonds was relerred to First Comptroller Law rence, of the Treasury Department, to-day. aud is substantially as louow-s: "ii J. v. is. should pur chase Government bonds and register them, as J. w. .

The Minneapo lis Tribune published to-day an extract irom private letter to its editor irom ex-lTesiden Ha .-es. in the course of which he makes the fol lowing casual reference to certain published statements to wnicn nis attention nad beer called, impugning the consistency of his temierance principles and practices of Mrs. Hayes, lie says: "With reference to the matter to which you call my attention, 1 have only this to say: When I became President, I was fully convinced that whatever might be the case in other countries and with other people, in ou climate and with the excitable, nervous temperament of our people, the habitual use of intoxicating drinks was not safe. 1 regarded the danger of the habit as especially great in politics aud official life. It seemed to me that to exclude liquor from the White House would be wise and useful as an example, and would be approved by the good people generally. The suggestion was particularly agreeable to Mrs. Hayes. She had been a total abstinence woman from childhood, We had never used liquor in our own home, and it was determined to continue our home custom in this respect in our official resi dence in Washington, as we had done at Columbus. I was not a total abstainer when I became President, but the discussion which arose over the charge at the Executiv Mansion soon satisfied me tnat there was no half house in toe matter. "During the greater part of my term, at least during tne last tnree years, 1 nave been in practice, as in theory, a consistent total abstinence man, and shall continue to be so. All state inents, including tbe otie you send me, and lncon sistent with the foregoing, are untrue and with out foundation." , Suffering; Dakota, Yankton, April 14. The river is at a stand to day.

A GREAT REVELATION.

Some Valuable Thon slits Conaernlp? Unman Happiness and Timely Suggestions About Secnring It. Synopsis of a Leo tare Delivered ljr Ir. Chas. Craig, Defore the Metropolitan Scientific Association. "The public speaker of the present day labors under difficulties of which the speakers of the last century never dreamed, for while the audi ences of the past received what was said without question, those of the present day are usually the mental equals or superiors of the ones who address them. Rev. Dr. Tyng of New York, w hen a theological student, supplied a Church in a neighboring town, and on his way to preach one morning met an aged colored man. 'Well, untie, do you ever go to hear the young preacher" aked the unfledged Doctor. 'No, Massa," replied the negro, 'dis chile don't let none o' dem students practis on htm. The darkey had begun to think The free and independent thought of thU age accepts statements only where they are proven to be truth, while the development of mental power seems equally great iu every other department of life. The valuable inventions of the day aro counted by thousands. The increase of scientinc study is universal. The spirit ot inquiry :j all Melds is so marked as to cause i'OMM ENT ON EVERY SIDE, while people seem investigating and advi:utn; in every direction which can help them morally, mentally or physically. This it, especially true of the human body and everything w hich concerns it, and the truths which the eople have f-mud, even in the last fifty years, are simply marvelous. How really lgnoruut some cultured and siip;otMilly scientific people were only a few years n i. as compared with the present day. maj 1 better uiidcrsuxrti irom a lew liiusirame tacts. A prominent writer prepared au elaborate esjty to prove that steamships could never cro.-. the Atlantic, and his pamphlet was issued Jit--t ia time to bo carried by the first steamer that went to cngland. People om-e believed that the heart was the seat of lite and healih. It i now known that this organ is r-nly a pump, simply keepiug in motion what other and more important organs of the body have created an-4 transformed. It was once supposed that if a person felt a paia in the back the liver was deranged; if a pain came in the low er chest the lungs were affected aud consumpiiou was near: it is now known that a pain in the back indicates diseased kidneys, w hile troubles in the lower chest arise from a disordered liver and not imperfect lungs. A severe Kiin iu the bead was otice thought to come from some 1 -art nil derangement of the brain; tl is now known that troubles in liier parts of the body and away from the head cause headaches, aai that only by removing the cause can the paia be cured. It is a matter of PRIVATE HISTORY that General Washington was bled to death His last Illness was slittht, aud caused pnucipal'y by weariuess. A physician was called who'bied tiim copiously.' Strange to say. tbe patient beoauie no better. Another locUr was called, who aaam took away a large amount of the vital fluid, 'i nus in succession four physicians drew away the life of a gteal man who was intended by iiatiire for au old age, and who prematurely died murdered bv malpractice bled to death. " 1 hat was the ae of medical blessing!" The speaker theu graphically described another period which came upon the people, in w hieb, they assigned the orixin of all diseases to the stomach, aud after showing the falsity of this tliry. and that the kidneys and liver were the cau-e. of disease, aud Uiat mauy jieople are sufleriug from kidney and liver troubles to-day who do not know it. but who should know it aud atteud to them at once, continued: ' Let us look st this matter a little more closely. The human body is the most perfect aud yet the most delicate of all created tilings. It is capable ol the greatest results and it is liable to the greatest disorders. The slightest causes sometimes seem to throw Its delicate machinery out of order while the most simple and common sense care restores and keeps them in ierfect condition. When it is remembered that the amount of happiness or misery we are to have in th;s world is dependent upon a perfect body, is it not struuge that simple precautions and care are not exercised? This is one of the most vital qurstionsof life, people may avoid it for the present, but there is certain to come a time in every one's experience when it must be faced. "And here pardon me for relating a litt'.e personal ex leriewe. Iu the year of 1870 1 found myself losing both in strength and health, could assign no case for the decline, but it continued, until finally I called to my aid two prorai nent physiciAns. After treating me for some time they declared I was suffering from Bright ? disease of the kidneys, and that they could do nothing more for me. At this time 1 was so weak 1 could not raise my head from the pillow and I FAINTED REPEATEPLY. My heart bent so rapidly it was with difficulty I could Bleep. My lungs were also badly involved ; I could retain nothing on my stomach, while the most intense pains iu my back and bowels caused me to long for death as a relief. It was at this critical juncture that a phy sical longlug which I felt (and which 1 most firmly believe was an inspiration) caused me to send for the leaves of a plant 1 had once known in medical practice. Afier great difficulty I at last secured them and began their use iu the form of tea. 1 noticed a lessening of the pain at once: I began to mend rapidly; in five weeks I was able to be about snd in two mouths 1 became ierfectly weil, and have so continued to this day. It was only natural that such a result should have caused me to investigate iut thoroughly. I carefully examined fields in medicine never before explored. I sought the cause of physical order and disorder, happiness and pain and I found the kidneys aiid liver to be the governors, w hose motions regulate the eutiie system." After describing at length the offices of the kidneys and liver, and their important part lu life, the Doctor went on to say : "Having found this great truth. I saw dearly the cause of my recovery. The simple vegetable leaf I had used was a food and restorer :o my well-nigh exhausted kidneys and liver. It had come, to them when their life was nearly gone and by its simple, yet tniwerful influence had purified, strengthened and restored them and saved me from death. Realiziug the great benefit which a knoweledgcof this truth would give to the wor'.d, I began lu a modest way. to trearthoöe alllicted and in every case I found tbe same HtrPY RESULTS which I had experienced. Not only this, hut many who were uot conscious of any physical trouble, but who, at my suggestion, begun the use of the remedy wnich had saved my Lie, found their health steadily Improving and their strength continually increasing. So universal, where used, was this true, that I determined the entire world should share iu its results, and I therefore placed the formula for its preparatioa in the bauds of Mr. H. II. Warner, of Rochester. N Y.. a gentleman whom I had cured of a severe kidney disease, and who, by reason of his personal worth, high standing and liberality in endowing the Astronomical Observatory and other public euterprises, has become know 11 and popular to the entire country. This gentleman at once began the mauufacture of the remedy on a most extensive scale, and to-day Warner's Safe Kidaey and Liver Cure, the pure remedy that saved my life, is known aud used iu all prts of the continent "I am aware a prejudice exists toward proprietary medicines, and that such prejudice is too often well founded, but the value of a pore remedy Is no less because it is a proprietary medicine. A justifiable prejudice exists toward qusck doctors, but is it right that this prejudice should extend toward all the doctors w ho aie enmesHy uud intelligently trying to do their Äut? Because Warner's Safe Kiduey and Liver Cure navel my life before it became a proprietary medicine, ia it reasonable to suppose that it w ill uot cure others aud keep still more from sickness now tiist it is sold with a Government stamp on the wrapper? Such a theory would be childish.' The Doctor then paid some high compliments American science, aud dosed his lecture as fo'lows: "How to restore health when broken and how to keep the body perfect and free from disease must ever be man's highest study. That one of the greatest revelations of the present day has been made in ascertaining the true seat of heairi to be in the kidneys and liver, all scientists now admit, and I can but feel that the discoverr which I have been permitted to make, and whicb I have described to you, is destined to prove turn who suffer and k uiwi reuaute inena to those to those who desire jor uapoiiieaa, aa weil aa w aeep the joyi they now
